Photonic Crystal Co., a display materials firm, has announced its NanoAR transparent display material with aims for smart car applications, according to a report from floridapolitics.com.

"The company aims to make available a 'transparent sunroof display application' as early as the third quarter of 2023," the report said, adding, "The display 'reflects/scatters light from a projector, while being fully transparent enabling the light to pass through from the opposite side and overlaps a vivid projected image with a surrounding reality view,' according to the company."

"We are proud NanoAR has become enabling technology for new automobile displays," Dr. Yong-Jing Wang, CTO of Photonic Crystal Co., said in the report. "It can be used in sunroof displays, side window display and AR HUDs."
